The referee on duty was the bald Crawford, and the old man blew the whistle and the game officially began. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Lakers starters: Kobe, LaVine, Antetokounmpo, Noll and Whiteside.

Warriors starters: Curry, Thompson, Barnes, Iguodala, Azeli.

With Bogut injured this season, David Lee was dropped by Kerr and thrown to the bench to play a small dexterous lineup. Although this style of play has been very effective, the Warriors' interior disadvantage is extremely obvious.

Barnes and Iguodala often make cameos in the No. 4 position, but after all, the two are not really from the inside, and they are a little lacking in height and confrontation.

Azeli's height at No. 5 is also a slight underwhelming, even though he is officially 6 feet 11 inches (211 cm), but when he stands alongside the seven-foot Whiteside, the height difference is very noticeable. Obviously, Azeri is lying about his height.

"The Warriors' overall height is still a big difference compared to the Lakers, with three 7-foot-tall players on the floor at the same time, and both guards are 6-foot-6 inches. It's up to the Warriors to see how they play. The two sides jumped the ball, Hassan easily got the ball for the Lakers, and the game officially began! ”

The Warriors' offense is focused on the perimeter, and they're looking for transition shots in a quick offense. In this regard, Cole's strategy is very similar to Chu Xuan's. However, the biggest advantage of the Lakers over the Warriors is the interior. Kerr can only blindly pursue speed and shooting, and he does not dare to fall into the position to attack, because the Warriors' interior is completely unguaranteed. The Lakers are different, and the existence of the twin towers can allow the Lakers to adapt to a variety of playing styles.

And to deal with the Warriors, it is naturally a position, starting from the opponent's weak inner line.

On the first offense, Knoll asked for the ball in the low post, singled Barnes, and scored with an easy basket.

Barnes' height disadvantage was immediately apparent, he could defend the No. 4 position in the small ball, but he simply couldn't defend a really tall inside.

When it was the Warriors' turn to attack, Curry single-handedly went inside and made a tall layup with his nimble feet and excellent ball-handling skills. This kind of offense is Curry's scoring method that is 9 out of 10, and it is difficult to block.

This time, however, Curry's scoring hopes were snuffed out. Whiteside threw out his giant palm and directly slapped Curry's layup.

"Well done!"

There was a burst of cheers from the audience, and the Lakers' interior defense in the first round successfully demonstrated the defensive strength of the restricted area, and the Warriors' tentative approach to killing inside was undoubtedly going to fail.

The next offensive tactics showed that Kerr was looking for ways to score close to the basket, but after a few consecutive offensive blockages, Kerr abandoned that intention and reverted to his usual style of play.

Curry, Thompson, Iguodala and Barnes are all very strong three-point players. And they have a good tacit understanding of playing together, and with the quick transfer of the ball, the Warriors can still find good opportunities. On the other hand, on the Lakers' side, Chu Xuan arranged to focus on the interior, with the Twin Towers and Antetokounmpo both killing in the restricted area, while LaVine and Kobe Bryant were looking for opportunities to cast cold arrows on the outside. This style of play restrained the Warriors' lineup to a great extent, and the Warriors' defense was originally very poor, so the Lakers' offensive efficiency in the first quarter was also very high.

The first quarter of the game made the fans dazzled and enthusiastic, and at the end of the first quarter, the Lakers had a slight advantage and led 38-33. Curry scored 13 points in the first quarter and LaVine contributed 10.

"Giannis, don't let him pick up Stephen Curry when defending Andre Iguodala next. For others, try to form a one-on-one defense and don't miss people. If the opponent blocks and dismantles the screen, pay attention to the cohesion of the change of defense, and be sure not to let them easily get the opportunity to shoot. ”

Through the first quarter of the game, Chu Xuan found that the key point of the Warriors' playing style in this game was Iguodala. Iguodala was the most involved in the movement of the ball per round, and he was the center point of the other three shooters. Therefore, if Iguodala can be defended, then the Warriors' fluid transition offense will undoubtedly be interrupted.

After Antetokounmpo got Chu Xuan's arrangement, he immediately did so.

Iguodala is a player who relies on his physical attributes, he is very well-rounded, and at one time he was the league's hottest all-round small forward. However, after coming to the Warriors, Iguodala's tactical positioning was greatly weakened, and he began to become a role player. Many people wonder if he will be difficult to accept, after all, he is an All-Star caliber player.

Judging from these two seasons, Iguodala has completed the role change, and he has done his best to assist the Splash Brothers. It's a matter of character, and such players are quite popular in the league.

Iguodala's role on the Warriors was very important, and when Antetokounmpo tried his best to defend him, the situation on the court changed dramatically.

Seeing that Iguodala failed to show up for the scheduled position several times due to Antetokounmpo's obstruction, which led to the Warriors' stoppage and tactical running failures, Kerr immediately became alarmed, and he began to think of ways to change.

After a timeout, Kerr rearranged his tactics and the Warriors' defense stepped up.

The Lakers' tactical success rate was low, and the two sides formed a mutual restraint.

Chu Xuan sat on the sidelines watching the game, his eyebrows were slightly heavy, and the current stalemate shows that Kerr must have some research results for the Lakers. This made Chu Xuan start to seriously think about a new style of play, which was very important......

At halftime, the Lakers led the Warriors by three points at 62:59.

Chu Xuan led the players back to the locker room.

"Our offense is limited, and the main problem is that we blindly play according to tactics and are not flexible enough.

You know, compared to the Warriors, we're superior in every way.

So, we should have our own rhythm of the game and not always follow them. ”

Judging from the first half of the game, the Warriors were mainly guiding the Lakers to play their expected tactics, and the unaware Lakers players ended up in a bad offensive quarter.

And it's very easy to change.

After thinking about it on the field, Chu Xuan already had an idea.

"Chu, what do you think should be done? Are we going to step up our defense? Nash asked.

Chu Xuan looked at Nash and couldn't help but smile slightly. As a head coach, Nash's mindset is still stuck in his last year, always relying on defense to protect the win.

But now Chu Xuan has already had a higher level of understanding.

"It's actually very simple, playing the exact same way as the Warriors, and I'm curious if they can defend their own style of play. In that case, Kerr will help us figure out how to defend the Warriors' ......" (To be continued.) )
